H. Nakajima et al., EFFECTS OF CYCLIC PULSED OPERATION ON THE COIL PERFORMANCE IN THE NB3SN DEMO POLOIDAL COIL (DPC-EX), IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(4), 1994, pp. 2535-2537
The effect of cyclic pulsed operation on the coil performance was stud
ied from the electrical and mechanical points of view in the second ex
periment of the Nb3Sn Demo Poloidal Coil (DPC-EX). Current sharing tem
peratures, ac losses, displacements, and strains were measured before
and after cyclic pulsed operation, which consisted of about 350 cycles
. No degradation of the electrical and mechanical performance of the D
PC-EX was observed in the range of these cycles.
